The move isn’t binding, as the OSU junior forward has until May 29 to remove his name from the draft and return to Oregon State. Tinkle hasn’t decided as to whether he’ll hire an agent, but recent rule changes allow a player to hire a certified agent to guide them through the draft process. Should the player return to school, he must sever ties with the agent.
Wayne Tinkle said his son is putting his name in the draft to gather feedback regarding interest in the 6-foot-8 forward.
He wont go.

Tres will be told he needs to work on his outside shot and be able to go right. He will return to work on his game next year.

He will probably come back for another year of experience and playing for his Dad. However, the fact that he has been in school 4 years and is almost 23 makes me think his stock will not get much higher then it is now. I know he has some holes in his game, but I am surprised he is not even on ESPNs top 100 NBA prospects list.

Where would he play for your favorite NBA team?
IMO, huge holes in his game at the NBA level.
Defense is one; a function of his lack of quickness, explosiveness and jumping.
Offensively he projects as a spot up shooter, a small 4 or slow 3. With suspect ball-handling a limited ability to drive to his right.
I love his desire and work ethic. He's a great college player, but NBA is not in cards.

I know he has some holes in his game, but I am surprised he is not even on ESPNs top 100 NBA prospects list. I'd love to see Tres stick in the NBA, but I'm just not optimistic. And I say that because I can't think of anything he does that is at an elite level. He excels in the Pac-12 because he does a lot of things well, but I don't see anything that he's special at like the typical NBA talent. And some of his holes aren't very fixable (athleticism vs. NBA level talent, both at the offensive and defensive ends). I have been hopeful that he could be a David Lee type at the next level (with a better outside shot), but he'll need to bulk up to do that, and it's not what his game is today at all. This recent highlight from Westbrook was as good as I've seen on video of the athletic level of elite NBA players - it's pretty unreal. |

Really disappointed in his decision, but I think it was to be expected. He has traveled a very privileged path and may soon enter an arena where dad can no longer protect him. It’s bound to be good for him if he can step up.

It’s bound to be good for him if he can step up. Oh, good grief. He is a very good college player that most likely won’t translate to the NBA. But to insinuate that dad is “protecting” him is BS. He could have went to another PAC 12 team and still had a very good career. |

Any junior who is a first team all conference player from a Power 5 conference should really explore the draft to get feedback. Tres may never play in NBA, but people have said the same thing about other guys who have done so. And even if he doesn’t, that feedback and working on his weaknesses can help him play professionally somewhere other than NBA.
It is likely that he’ll be back, but if not I wish him the best of luck in pursuing a pro career in NBA or elsewhere.

The fact he is met with such diversion is baffling. Honestly pathetic behavior from our fans. Daddy ain't out there putting down a double double every night. He as a finalist for Pac-12 player of the year, went 20.8/8.1/3.8 on the season. Just.. Man, I dunno. What else does the kid gotta do to get some respect? Declare emancipation from his dad and change his name? Drew Eubanks and Stevie Jr both declared, both got feedback, and both returned. Eubanks declared the next year and left. If Tres wants honest feedback on his NBA potential, this is how he does it. |

I wanted to see the ability to lift a mediocre team and carry it beyond. |

It’s bound to be good for him if he can step up. Why would anyone be disappointed? He is a great kid, good player that's following his dreams to play professional basketball. This is a SMART decision. Get feedback on his game and continue to improve. Where it takes him.... we all will know soon. |
